What? We're a tougher audience than a room of musicians?


Just watching American Greed on CNBC about how the guy running the company selling Enzyte went down for fraud.

There's a shock.

It's a great looking bike, but I've really fallen in love with how the bike rides/feels/handles. Took a while, but I really like it now.

I get something out of playing in front of the musicians, potential people to jam with. Here all I'd get is grief.

Is there any more ineffective, lame, creepy and offensive ad campaign in the history of TV than this plastic Burger King campaign with that bizarro King character? I mean, who the F at BK thinks that's a good idea? Who's their ad agency?

Go figure. Just friggin totally out there and unfathomable. Sure, it has us talking about Burger King. It makes me want to avoid the chain in response to the ads. Seriously.

You know what's really dumb?

Leaving money--for an extended period--in an account that charges more in expenses than it earns in interest/dividends.

That should give me street cred in this idiotic site.

But Gomer, you don't even have streets where you live, you have dirt roads.

i would pay to see "Pcad and the Freds" cover band in any one of a number of NYC dive bars. there are some pretty awful guys playing their hearts out out there, you really have nothing to lose.

Here is a interesting review

Spring is in the air. There are two damn pigeons outside my office window cooing...for the FOURTH DAY IN A ROW. I keep going out there to break up the love-making session, but they come back in an hour.

Ah, the Rock Pigeon. Did you know that they were originally brought to the US as a food source? And that they're delicious (so I hear)? If only those damn chickens didn't have such maintenance-free rearing, we (well, "we," the fat ones) would be eating Kentucky Fried Squab, instead.

The only thing in the air over the North Atlantic is Icelandic volcanic ash. Heathrow is friggin closed. I can't imagine what that does to international air schedules. Every other flight in Europe goes through Heathrow. That's air traffic gridlock right there.

Not true. The stink of Mets fans' desperation is also in the air. It has already drifted all the way down here to DC.

Who are you kidding? What could possibly penetrate the stench from the Nationals?

I grew up in St Louis, so I've got the Cards. However, from the last few years watching the Rams, my ability to smell desperation has become fairly fine tuned, and I am able to distinguish between different types. The Mets fans have a bit of a "dear jesus we just spent a billion on a new stadium and $130 million on payroll this year and are going to lose 90 games" type of desperation. The Nationals have more of a general sense of despair similar to the Cubs, where they are expected to be bad. More of a "hah, we are going to lose 100 games, lets get drunk anyways" desperation, if you will.

Yes it is sad they the Mets can't even beat the nationals. Not even May and the Mets are out of it.

I guess the air gridlock came as a surprise? Because when CNN mentioned the volcano last night essentially the only thing they said about it was, "Wow, look at the cool lava pictures. Next, who wants to win a free T-shirt?"

You could post something and I could criticize your intonation (even when I was four I argued that Perlman needed to practice more due to mistakes in his recordings). :D I get tired of the sopranos at CIM.....

The Mets were out of it in March.

It's bad enough that I have to embarrass myself in front of other amateur musicians. I'm not going to do it here too you Gomerific hoser.

Hey so guys, a few people at my school got arrested today. Why you ask? Because they wanted to commemorate the Columbine shooting by pulling off their own at my school. Wonderful!

That's an impressive display of team effort, initiative, and conspiracy to commit a murderous act of pointless terrorism. Well done.
